Website optimization focusing on enhancing page loading speeds, revitalizing outdated code, and achieving compliance with the Google Core Web Vitals assessment. Upgrades to the server, migration to Amazon S3, and leveraging CloudFront for image storage, alongside critical frontend enhancements, led to significant performance improvements and a superior user experience.

Challenges:

A thorough website audit uncovered several factors contributing to slow page loading speeds: 

• Outdated code and scripts
